Safety instructions

Computer setup
• Before you open the housing to change, install or remove components, you
must switch the PC off and remove the plug from the socket. You must also
disconnect all peripherals (remove plug) from the device, e.g. telephone line,
• The proper operation (according to IEC 60950/EN 60950) of the unit is only
guaranteed with a fully attached housing and covers for installation slots
(electrical shock, cooling, fire prevention, noise suppression).
• Only authorised persons should open the unit. Tampering with the unit will
result in a loss of the right to guarantee claims and the discontinuation of the
manufacturer's guarantee obligation to uphold the harmonised standards
according to the law regarding the electromagnetic compatibility of units and
low voltage directive.
• All integrated circuits and memory modules, as well as the contacts on all
sockets and plugs, are susceptible to static electricity. Protect these from static
electricity. The effect of static electricity, rapid transients or strong
electromagnetic fields on the unit may cause faults. When exchanging or
installing a board or a memory module, touch an earthed object or carry a
ground strap to divert any electrostatic charge from your body.
• All ports are only designed for connection of safety extra-low voltage (SELV).
• The unit can be equipped with a power output which may only be used to
connect a monitor.
• Never open the power supply unit! The components (e. g. power supply)
marked with a warning (e.g. lightning) may only be opened, removed or
exchanged by authorised qualified personnel.
• If the BIOS needs to be updated, only Fujitsu Siemens Computers updates
are to be used.
• When installing additional components (e.g. hard disks) ensure that there is
adequate cooling.
Repairs
• Repairs to the unit may only be carried out by authorised persons.
Unauthorised opening and incorrect repairs may pose considerable risk to the
user (risk of electric shock or fire).
Optical drives
• Use only completely perfect storage media (e.g. CD, DVD) in your optical drive
to avoid data loss, damage to the machine and injury.
• Each CD/DVD should be checked for damage such as fine cracks, fractures or
similar prior to insertion in the drive.
• Note that additional adhesive changes the mechanical properties of a CD/DVD
and may lead to an imbalance.
• Damaged and unbalanced CDs/DVDs may break at high drive speeds (data
loss). Under some circumstances, sharp-edged fractures may penetrate the
cover of the drive (damage to the machine) and be thrown out of the machine
(risk of injury, in particular to exposed parts of the body such as face and
neck).
• Look after the optical drive and prevent mechanical damage as well as
premature ware of the storage media by taking the following advice:
